Purpose:
As symptoms progress in people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), caregivers assume increasing responsibility. The objective of the current study was to summarize evidence on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies designed to support caregivers of people with ADRD.
Method:
A comprehensive literature search was conducted in CINAHL and PubMed. A scoping review methodology was used to synthesize study designs, AI modalities, caregiver populations, intervention settings, outcomes measured, and key findings.
Results:
Forty-three studies were included. Identified technologies included physical robots, conversational agents, and predictive algorithms. These AI interventions supported caregivers through education, task assistance, social support, and clinical management.
Conclusion:
As the population of older adults with ADRD grows, so will demand for caregiver support. Current research demonstrates a wide range of AI applications. Future research should focus on rigorous, long-term empirical evaluation of these technologies.
